Possession of fentanyl test strips.

SB 98 makes it legal to possess fentanyl test strips, removing them from the category of criminal offenses. This directly affects individuals who use drugs and harm reduction programs, as it allows them to safely test substances without fear of criminal penalties. The key provision is a clear statutory change stating that possessing these strips is not a crime. The bill, currently under review by the Corrections and Criminal Law committee, aims to support public health safety without involving criminal justice consequences.
